BOWIE, Maryland  -  Led by a backcourt of Prince George’s County natives, Bowie State University’s men’s basketball team is surging into the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association portion of its schedule as the 15th-ranked team in the nation.

The Division II Bulldogs are 8-1 and rolled through their December non-conference slate despite playing what coaches and players agree has not been their best basketball.

We’re kind of a work in progress right now,” said Bowie State coach Darrell Brooks. “We’re trying to tighten up some loose ends and figure out exactly what we can be as a team, but overall, I’m really pleased. To be honest, I don’t think we’ve done any one thing really well yet. I think we have spurts … but we still have not been able to put it all together. That’s kind of exciting because I think we will put it together at some point.”

 

In the backcourt, guards Darren Clark (Largo High) and Jay Gavin (Bishop McNamara) are providing a spark on offense, defense and off the court as senior leaders.
